Itch, common in dermatological conditions, is often accompanied by psychological distress and reduced quality of life. However, research on the prevalence and associated factors of itch with skin conditions in general populations is limited. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the lifetime prevalence of itch with skin conditions and identify its associated factors in middle-aged and elderly individuals.

Background:  The treatment algorithm in late-onset inflammatory adverse events with soft-tissue fillers depends primarily on the assumed causative factor: immunologic or bacterial. Methods:  The authors included 29 patients, 13 of whom experienced late-onset inflammatory adverse events to fillers (inflammatory group) and 16 who did not (reference group). Biopsies were acquired from both groups with an 18-G needle. Before taking the biopsy, the authors acquired skin swabs for 25 of the 29 patients.
